This website, in partnership with EUROCAT, provides information and resources for researchers, health professionals, parents and other members of the public.

What is a congenital anomaly?

A congenital anomaly is defined as any defect present at delivery, probably originating before birth, and includes structural, chromosomal, genetic and biochemical defects and malformations.
